A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Fire Safety Law and Practice provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the legislative framework that governs fire safety in England and Wales. Taking into account the significant amendments that have followed the tragic events of Grenfell Tower, it explains who is subject to duties under the order and what those duties are. It then deals with enforcement, covering the duties on enforcing authorities and the investigatory powers available to them, before looking at both the bringing of criminal proceedings and the powers to issue alteration, prohibition and enforcement notices. Accessible to both those new to the field and experienced legal practitioners, and to fire safety inspectors as well as risk assessors, it serves not only as a reference work, but also provides a detailed practical guide for those working in this area on a daily basis. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Company and Commercial Law online service.

For the first time available from Penguin Classics U.S., a new translation for one of the greatest writers of twentieth-century France A Penguin Classic Claudine lives in a large house with a rose-filled garden and a vegetable patch smelling of tomato leaves and apricots. Beyond her house is the village, where traveling performers stop for the night and wedding feasts take place under a bright summer moon. Inside her house are Mama, who loves animals, Papa, who lost his leg in the war, and a library full of forbidden and irresistible books . . . Based on Colette’s own early life, Claudine’s House is a rich and enchanting depiction of childhood, animals, flowers, trees, books, families, and love in late-nineteenth-century France. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Eine brandaktuelle Intervention des Bestseller-Autors und international renommierten&nbsp;Moralphilosophen: Unsere Gesellschaften sind zutiefst gespalten, und autoritäre Kräfte gewinnen weltweit immer mehr Macht. Die demokratischen Parteien stehen dieser Entwicklung scheinbar ohnmächtiggegenüber. Zugänglich und pointiert analysiert Michael J. Sandel, wie es so weit kommen konnte, und sucht nach Auswegen aus der Krise. Neben entschlossenem Widerstandgegen demokratiefeindliche Kräfte braucht es eine großangelegte zivilgesellschaftliche Veränderung: eine neue Politik des Gemeinwohls, die auf Pluralismus, gegenseitigen Respekt und echte Teilhabe setzt - und von der alle profitieren.

Rechtsfolgen der politischen Verfolgung im wiedervereinigten Deutschland

Die Arbeitsgruppe Aufarbeitung und Recht an der Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) bekam 2018 vom Bundeswissenschaftsministerium den Auftrag, die "Rechtsfolgen politischer Verfolgung im wiedervereinigten Deutschland" zu untersuchen. Die wesentlichen Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung werden in dieser Publikation veröffentlicht. Die gesetzlichen Grundlagen für die Rehabilitierung und Entschädigung politisch Verfolgter und Benachteiligter waren insgesamt zwar ausreichend. Dagegen war die Durchführung der Gesetze mangels behördlicher Verwaltungsvorschriften und Struktur der Rehabilitierungsverfahren mangelhaft. So müssten im Bereich der Bodenreform und der Kollektivierung ca. 10 % der Verfahren wegen krasser Rechtsfehler noch einmal neu aufgerollt werden. Folge der unzureichenden Umsetzung der Rehabilitierungsgesetze ist nicht zuletzt, dass Angehörige und Nachkommen politisch Verfolgter mit dem Rechtsstaat unzufrieden sind.

Schlussbericht des Teilprojekts Recht im Forschungsverbund „Landschaften der Verfolgung"

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

The Market for Skill

In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the 1950s in its values and beliefs around nature, race, gender, sexuality, science and the environment. These changes amount to nothing less than the dismantling of an old civilization and the building of a new one. But because the changes have been slow and diverse, their scale and impact are seldom recognized.

At the heart of this rising world view is the idea of interconnection, with its understanding
of the interdependence and symbiotic relationships within nature and among humans - and the current nationalist and authoritarian pushback is a backhanded acknowledgment of its power and impact.

The Beginning Comes After the End is the culmination of years of activism from one of the most significant thinkers of our day. It offers a unique perspective on our politics and our humanity, to give hope in difficult times and to urgently remind us that the power to change the world is within our reach.

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

Breaking New Ground

Why Britain's energy path gave rise to an ideology of endless growth Despite the warnings of climate scientists, the world remains dangerously addicted to fossil fuel. Why has it been so difficult to break this habit? In a major new account, Fredrik Albritton Jonsson suggests that the planetary emergency has profound historical roots reaching back to the making of the first fossil fuel economy in eighteenth-century Britain. Rather than look for a single dramatic rupture centered on the steam-powered factory system, in Infinite Coal Albritton Jonsson shows that there was a much more gradual and multidimensional development of the first coal economy, stretching from the deep mine and ironworks to the household and the global food system. Albritton Jonsson explores not only the material forces behind the British energy path but also how ideas about fossil fuel energy reoriented politics and society toward a new ideal of growth. At the same time an environmental and political history of Britain’s energy transformation, Infinite Coal explains why and how coal became so deeply embedded in our way of life. Albritton Jonsson argues that the most important legacy of Britain’s early fossil fuel economy is fossil cornucopianism—the idea of a bountiful, never-ending energy source—which still haunts modern politics and economics.

This textbook provides students with an understandable and concise analysis of the U.S Supreme Court's landmark rulings on civil rights and liberties through a discussion of the context, legal issues, constitutional questions and opinions of these cases.The book encourages critical thinking through landmark recent case examples that contextualize the myriad competing social, legal, and political interests that influence judicial rulings. Controversial rulings are framed through the perspective of the Court as a Cultural Tribunal-one which over time alternatively extends or restricts and periodically redefines constitutional rights and freedoms. In comparing the current Roberts Court to its predecessors and looking towards the future, author John Domino explores when, how, and why the Constitution is invoked in historical and contemporary debates on immigration, voting, surveillance and national security, reproductive health, gender and sexuality, affirmative action, the freedoms of expression, religion, and assembly, and more. Each chapter includes new-to-this-edition discussion questions and features numerous short excerpts from some of the more influential, eloquent, and controversial Supreme Court opinions.Illustrating the complex history of American civil rights and liberties in the United States, this book serves as a core textbook for courses on civil liberties and civil rights, and a supplementary text in courses on constitutional law and the judiciary.
